[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 659769, member: 17635"] Part of me would like to lay eyes on him, but not most of me. The last couple times we have seen Difficult Child have been bad. Last time was about 1.5 years ago. We met him at a fast food place when he asked us to. We offered to spend $200 to get him a room for few nights at a local motel. His words, "I like your little plan, but I'm really thinking I'd like you to get a gift card for (friend)." It was to a local bar. This was after Difficult Child called to tell us he was despondent, with no place to turn, no place to sleep. Apple, that really happened, but on the entire spectrum, is not one of our biggest memories. How sad is that? Our two oldest saved and purchased their first cars. Daughter saved way longer than Difficult Child (and worked harder) and Difficult Child was furious that she bought a nicer car. husband and I put not one cent into either car, but, in Difficult Child's accusations, it was all our fault. [I]We favored the daughter[/I]. My sister in law (husband's sister) semi-apologized, years later, for believing all the things Difficult Child told her about how we had mis-treated him. sister in law had taken him in after one incarceration, and learned, first hand, how he can steal, lie & blame. Sometimes husband and I say we should list all the stuff Difficult Child has done to us. Darn, that would take significant paper and time. And, I would give most anything to make that not true.
